Child welfare NGOs · CRM

Keep the sponsor list out of the notebook and the children out of the database.

A CRM for a child welfare NGO is a single record of sponsors, donors, volunteers, visitors and funders, with the programme each is connected to and the last time anyone spoke to them. GullySales sets up the fields, the stages and the access rules, and your trust owns the data.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What CRM means

A CRM is the record where every enquiry, call and quote is kept against a customer, replacing separate notebooks, spreadsheets and memory. GullySales sets up or cleans an existing CRM and reports from it by enquiry outcome rather than by activity logged.

For child welfare NGOs

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The sponsor list lives in one person's head”

    A house parent knows which sponsor writes back and which one lapsed. When they leave or fall ill, the list leaves with them. A shared record holds the history.

  • “A donor record must not become a child record”

    Sponsor details and a child's details must live apart. A CRM that links a named child to a named sponsor can expose a child if the data is shared, lost or exported.

  • “Funder relationships run on dates”

    A CSR committee's cycle, a report owed and a renewal conversation all have dates. A record that holds these stops a funder being remembered only when a gap appears.

  • “Access should follow role”

    The accountant, the programme manager and a volunteer coordinator need different views. Setting who sees what at the start is far easier than fixing it after a mistake.

What we do

What we deliver for child welfare NGOs.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A record design for supporters

    Fields for contact, relationship type, programme, source, gifts and last contact, with nothing about any child.

    Result: A record that answers who this is and how they came.

  2. Stages for sponsors, partners and volunteers

    Simple steps such as enquiry, welcomed, active, due an update and lapsed, written for each group.

    Result: Everyone in the list has a stage.

  3. A separation rule for children's data

    A written line between the supporter CRM and the child records, with where each is kept and who may see it.

    Result: No child's name appears in the supporter system.

  4. Role-based access

    A list of who can view, edit or export, agreed with the trustees and applied in the tool.

    Result: Access matches the person's job.

  5. Import of the existing notebook

    Sponsor, donor and visitor lists entered, tidied and matched, with doubtful entries marked for the staff to confirm.

    Result: The old list is in one place and checked.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries logged in the CRM
  • Data completeness
  • Reports generated from CRM data

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the CRM work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Map the sales process

    We record how a deal actually moves from enquiry to close in your business today.

  2. 2

    Configure stages and fields

    The CRM's pipeline and fields are built to match that process exactly, not a generic template.

  3. 3

    Set up automations

    Reminders, assignment rules and follow-up triggers are configured so routine steps happen without manual effort.

  4. 4

    Test with real deals

    We run the configuration against actual current deals to catch gaps before the whole team relies on it.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales management. A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3 · you are here

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Which CRM should a small NGO use?
One the staff will open every day and that fits the trust's budget. We compare a few widely used options in India against your needs before recommending, and the choice remains yours.
Who owns the donor data?
Your trust. We set up the system and the routines, you decide who has access, and the donor list must never hold children's details.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
